"JOHN SARGENT son of William and Sarah (MINSHALL) SARGENT, was born in Charlestown, Massachusetts Bay Colony, in December 1639, and baptized December 8th following. He accompanied his father to Barnstable, 1656-57, and was admitted an inhabitant there between 1662 and 1666, but he returned , about 1669, to Malden. He was selectman six years, and in May, 1695, when the town of Malden made a division of two thousand acres of its common lands, his name appeared, with that of his son John, among the distributees. This distribution was by lot to all freeholders in the town in proportion to their ratable estates, and made an average of about thirty acres to each person included. The high esteem in which he was held by his fellow-townsmen is indicated by the record: 'John SARGENT, Sen'r is the man to draw the lots.' John SARGENT had a large estate in Malden. He died in Malden, Massachusetts, September 9, 1716. He was buried in Bell Rock Cemetery, formerly the old Malden Burial Ground. There his slate gravestone may still be seen."
